Instructions - Windows 95 or Windows 98

If you have experienced the following errors while using your Intel® PRO/DSL 2100 Modem Software, version 1.0, and you have Windows® 95 or Windows® 98, please continue with this download procedure.

After browsing the web for a short period of time, the DSL modem stops receiving traffic. While the connection appears active, it will not allow browsing.

Windows® 95 or Windows® 98 users experience a "Windows® Protection Error" upon the first reboot after the DSL modem is installed. This may result in the PC entering "safe mode." You will know your computer is in safe mode when a banner on your screen says "Safe Mode." Your PC will have the minimum configuration with only a scheme of 16 colors and enlarged icons.

  • After installing the DSL modem and booting the computer for the first time, the PC did not recognize the DSL modem as installed. Resources such as IRQ and memory are not allocated.
  • DSL modem not able to establish a connection (Error 678 = no answer).
  • RS error counter did not reflect accurate error counts within Connection Manager. To determine if you are experiencing this problem, open your Connection Manager. If your RS error count is zero and is not incrementing, then this may apply to you. However, RS errors are a normal part of your DSL operation and does not necessarily mean there is a problem with your service.
